History
The company was originally known as Saatchi Online. The Saatchi Art marketplace contains original paintings, photography, drawings and sculpture by approximately 65,000 artists from 100 countries worldwide. Its artist network is a platform for artists to show their work and interact.
In August 2014, Saatchi Art was acquired by Leaf Group (formerly Demand Media Inc.).
In November 2014 Charles Saatchi, the owner of Saatchi Gallery, initiated legal action in the United Kingdom 's Chancery Division of High Court of Justice against the current owners of Saatchi Art. He demands to stop using the name Saatchi Art due to a breach of an Intellectual Property agreement of February 18, 2010. He also asks to be paid out the share of the profit made by using the name Saatchi Art from the moment of alleged breach.
